-
- <para>The <constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> ioctl provides
-meta data about a compressed video stream the same or another
-application currently reads from the driver, which is useful for
-random access into the stream without decoding it.</para>
-
- <para>To read the data applications must call
-<constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> with a pointer to a
-&v4l2-enc-idx;. On success the driver fills the
-<structfield>entry</structfield> array, stores the number of elements
-written in the <structfield>entries</structfield> field, and
-initializes the <structfield>entries_cap</structfield> field.</para>
-
- <para>Each element of the <structfield>entry</structfield> array
-contains meta data about one picture. A
-<constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> call reads up to
-<constant>V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES</constant> entries from a driver
-buffer, which can hold up to <structfield>entries_cap</structfield>
-entries. This number can be lower or higher than
-<constant>V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES</constant>, but not zero. When the
-application fails to read the meta data in time the oldest entries
-will be lost. When the buffer is empty or no capturing/encoding is in
-progress, <structfield>entries</structfield> will be zero.</para>
-
- <para>Currently this ioctl is only defined for MPEG-2 program
-streams and video elementary streams.</para>
